Introduction
This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported RACADM interfaces, and property database groups
and object definitions of CMC for PowerEdge VRTX.
Topics:
• What’s new in this release
• Supported RACADM Interfaces
• RACADM Syntax Usage
• Supported RACADM Subcommands
• Other documents you may need
• Accessing documents from the Dell EMC support site
What’s new in this release
• Added a new command, sslcertdownload, to download SSL certificates from CMC.
Supported RACADM Interfaces
The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely configure your Chassis Management
Controller (CMC). The utility runs on the management station and the managed system. It is available on the Dell OpenManage Systems
Management and Documentation DVD or at support.dell.com.
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
• SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet. You do not have to
specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM commands.
• Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. You must install
the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute
Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet RACADM command except that you must
also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand
Details."
RACADM Syntax Usage
The following section describes the syntax usage for SSH/Telnet and Remote RACADM.
NOTE:
The RACADM command-line interface in CMC does not ignore single or double quotation. When you enter an
open quotation mark, ensure that you enter the close quotation mark too.
SSH or Telnet RACADM
racadm getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>]
[-i <indexnumber>]
racadm <subcommand>
Example
racadm getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm getsysinfo
1
12 Introduction
Remote RACADM
racadm -r <CMC IP> -u <username> -p <password> getconfig -g <groupname> [-o
<objectname>] [-i <indexnumber>]
racadm -r <CMC IP> -u <username> -p <password> <subcommand>
Example
racadm -r <CMC IP> -u myuser -p mypass getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm -r <CMC IP> -u myuser -p mypass getsysinfo
RACADM Command Options
The following table lists the options for the RACADM command.
Table 1. Racadm command options
Option Description
-r<racIpAddr>
-r racIpAddr : <port number>
Specifies the remote IP address of the controller.
Use:<port number> if the iDRAC port number is not the default
port (443).
-u <usrName> Specifies the username that is used to authenticate the command
transaction. If the -u option is used, the -p option must be used,
and the -i option (interactive) is not allowed.
NOTE: If you are using CIFS that is registered with a
domain, and are accessing the CIFS using the IP with
the CIFS local user credentials, it is mandatory to enter
the hostname or host IP with the -u option. The format
is - <hostname/username> or <host IP/username>
-p <password> Specifies the password that is used to authenticate the command
transaction. If the -p option is used, the -i option is not allowed.
NOTE: CMC does not support extended ASCII
characters, such as ß, å, é, ü, or other characters used
primarily in non-English languages. Setting values with
these characters causes unpredictable behavior.
-S Specifies that RACADM should check for invalid certificate errors.
RACADM stops the execution of the command with an error
message if it detects an invalid certificate.
-I <indexnumber> Specifies the index number for the indexed group, if applicable.
-g <groupname> Specifies the group name, if applicable.
-o objectname Specifies the object name, if applicable.
The following table provides the supported RACADM interfaces.
Table 2. Racadm interfaces
Type Local RACADM SSH/Telnet RACADM Remote RACADM
CMC No Yes Yes
NOTE: Multiple instances of remote RACADM can be executed on a management station.

Guidelines to Quote Strings Containing Special
Characters When Using RACADM Commands
When using strings that contain special characters, use the following guidelines:
Strings containing the following special characters must be quoted using single quotation marks or double quotation marks:
• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quotation marks)
• ' (single quotation marks)
• ` (back quotation marks)
• \ (backslash)
• ~ (tilde)
• ; (semicolon)
• | (vertical bar)
RACADM Subcommand Details
19
• ( (left parentheses)
• ) (right parentheses)
• & (ampersand)
• > (greater than)
• < (less than)
• # (pound)
• ASCII code 32 (space)
NOTE: The - (dash) character cannot be the first character of the string, regardless of whether the string is quoted.
There are different escaping rules for using single quotation mark and double quotation marks.
For double quoting:
The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:
• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quotation marks)
• ' (single quotation marks)
• ` (back quotation marks)
• \ (backslash)
For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \.
For single quotation marks:
• No character escaping is necessary.
• A single quotation mark cannot be used even with a backslash escaped.
NOTE: An empty string may be specified as either "" (using double quotation marks) or '' (using single quotation mark).
